Visa Expands Stablecoin Settlement Pilot to Nine Blockchain Networks

Visa has announced the expansion of its stablecoin settlement pilot to include nine blockchain networks, a move that marks a significant milestone in the adoption of digital payments by traditional financial institutions.

The payment giant now supports five new chains: Arc, Base, Canton, Polygon, and Tempo, each with distinct features that cater to different institutional needs. These additions bring the total number of supported chains to nine, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Stellar.

Visa's multi-chain settlement layer is designed to serve the growing demand for blockchain-based payment infrastructure among financial institutions. The company operates over 130 stablecoin-linked card programs across more than 50 countries worldwide, connecting digital assets to traditional payment rails.
